Alex Hilhorst

Since everything on here is technically “Copyright Alex Hilhorst 2012,” I decided to upload full versions for all of my scripts. Why the hell not? Besides, most of them are already registered with the WGA. Maybe this will help me finally get a screenwriting gig. Who knows. Full versions of the following scripts have been [...]

It’s been a while since I wrote for the Seattle-based website Culturemob- I had been writing recaps of Terra Nova for them but literally begged them to let me stop because I couldn’t stand to watch another second of it- but I’ve now returned with a review of Bad Robot’s new TV series, Alcatraz. Comparisons [...]

Gotta say, I’m really regretting committing to writing recaps for all of Terra Nova’s first (and definitely last) season for the website Culturemob. If I didn’t have to I would have stopped watching after last week’s atrocious new episode. I haven’t reposted this here until today because I’ve been real busy at my new job, [...]

So, I watched the premiere of Terra Nova. You knew I would. And I knew it was going to be bad. I had hoped it wouldn’t. But truth be told, I never really was all that excited for the show in the first place. I was a little sick of Spielberg just slapping his name [...]

Earlier this year my recaps of NBC’s shittastic and now cancelled drama The Event got me a good deal of traffic, probably because I was one of the few people on the internets actually willing to waste their time watching and then writing about it. I’ve since gone on to do recaps for The Killing [...]

The Lone Gunmen The Lone Gunmen are amongst my favorite characters from The X-Files, and I had fond memories of their spinoff series, which I caught a bit of during its run in the year 2001. My taste must have been much less refined at age fourteen, because the series does not hold up to [...]

The X-Files- Season 8 Sigh. That exclamation pretty much sums up how I feel about The X-Files’ penultimate season. This is one of the best sci-fi shows ever made we’re talking about here, hell one of the best TV shows ever made ever, so it really pains me to talk about its slow, laborious death. [...]

Check out my recap of last night’s double-sized Falling Skies recap at Culturemob. As much as I love me a show about aliens, Falling Skies has had a rocky first season, and the finale was a mixed bag. You can read my take here.

After the dismal resolution to the “Sanctuary” arc, many Falling Skies fans wondered if the alien invasion drama would be of a flip-floppy quality like another show I recap, The Killing. Fortunately, the show redeemed itself with the awesome “What Hides Beneath,” an episode that centered on gruff military leader Weaver, while also exploring the [...]

The first half of “Sanctuary” was perhaps the best episode of Falling Skies to date. Part 2? Not so much. It wasn’t as bad as the AV Club might lead you to believe, but it wasn’t the kind of resolution the story arc deserved. Read my recap at Culturemob for more insight. Two episodes remain. [...]
